About:
USA Kayaksurf Worlds 2011:
It was an incredible experiece the two weeks we were there. It was the first time I was with the Kayak Surf Selection in a world championship, and also the 1st time I was in USA. I was really happy to be there with friends surfing all the day. The main bad point of the competition was the uncertainity because of the waves.
World kayaksurf scene:
I believe that the sport is developing year by year and we are earning voice in the medias.
Future perspectives:
To improve my surf and tricks!
Australia 2013:
Perfect place to take place the Worlds! I hope to be there next year!
kayaksurf.net:
It's the first page I open in my computer. It's useful to see videos and see news.
Last words:
I want to thank my club, Real Club Nautico San Sebastian. Especially Edu Etxeberria and Urko Otxoa, that had teach me all I know about kayak surf, and without their help, it will be impossible to achieve my goals.
